I haven't seen this posted on the thread...Republicans [potentially] ignoring the State Supreme Court....cool. I'll bet that will less popular than Newt shutting down government operations. Ever onward! I wonder whether the State Legislature ignoring the State Supreme Court is a US Constitutional issue...I never even thought about that potential developing!

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 17–Republicans in charge of the Florida legislature are preparing a legal strategy to appoint the state's 25 electors themselves if the Florida Supreme Court fails to rule on the matter promptly.

"We're going to potentially ignore the state Supreme Court," Tom Feeney, a Republican lawyer who will take over as House speaker on Tuesday, said in an interview today. "It is the state legislature that determines the method of selecting electors. . . . The question is whether or not the Supreme Court of Florida has any role whatsoever. If they try to interfere with our responsibilities, then we still have to fulfill them."
